Term 1 Art Courses begining from 7th Februrary
Happy New Year everyone,
I hope this coming year is kind to you all and you have some great new projects in mind to get your teeth into.
MEGANZ School of Arts has an exciting first term planned ahead for our creative students, which runs for eight weeks from Tuesday 7th February. I'm also keen to announce I have my daughter Greta Umbers coming on board to teach my Tuesday class.
We mainly focus on drawing, painting & sculpture throughout the year. We work on a mix of tutor and student-initiated projects. We accept students from the age of 9 through to adults.
We are a home-based school situated in Cockle Bay, Howick.
It has been running since 2007.
I have been an artist all my life since I was old enough to hold a crayon in my hand. Art for me is the way I express myself, it has always helped me work through my challenges in life.
If you would like to find out more about the school take a look at our website - www.vizart.co.nz... Also we have an Instagram page with the student's great artwork showing @meganzsva
All fun and hard work ahead
Look forward to meeting you.
Cheers
Megan Murphy

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
